The suspect said he met one Hussaini Boda, in prison and they became friends after which he initiated him into becoming a hardened criminal.According to him, “Hussaini Boda initiated me into stealing. He is currently in the prison custody in Kaduna. He is my friend. We met in the prison custody.

“Before, we jump into people’s houses to steal motorcycle. We lift each other up to climb through the fence and open the door. We carry the machine out and seperate the ignition which enables to steal the motorcycle.

“But here, this was the first attempt to use gun to steal motorcycle. Alhaji Garba in Niger Republic gave one of his boys (Nura) gun to steal motorcycle and bring to him. All he is interested in is the goods and not money.

“I found myself doing these as a result of hardship and poverty and I have made a vow that if I am released from this ordeal I will not go back to it again because it is against my religion,” Dahiru said.

““The armed forces are not neutral,” he said, adding, “They collude with the armed bandits that kill people, kill Nigerians. They facilitate their movement. They cover them. If you are depending on the armed forces to stop the killings, you will die one by one. The ethnic cleansing must stop in Taraba State. It must stop in all the states of Nigeria, otherwise Somalia will be a child’s play. I ask everyone of you to be at alert and defend your country, defend your territory, defend your state. You have nowhere else to go.””– Former minister of defence, General T Y Danjuma speaking at the maiden convocation ceremony of Taraba state university in Jalingo, Taraba State.
